Not to knock the entire game, but I believe the multiplayer aspect of the game saved it and I play it every day. The only problem with it is it needs a female character so that women can play it.
Back to the single player. When I played the demo of the game I was sold that Kratos was going to fight his way out of this prison which was built around this giant. But that didn't happen. What happened is what I call a bait and switch tactic. After the 4 chapter I forgot what I was playing and what my purpose in the game was about until I got to the end and remembered who the real enemy was. It felt like I played the demo to play a different God of War game. This was not the game I wanted to play. Everything after chapter 4 was pointless and it had nothing to do with the story that was laid out for me when the game started.
Its difficult to explain the anger I feel with this game but as an example there was another game that pulled this tactic. Remember the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo? I played that demo who knows how many times and when the game was released and when you beat the demo part it turned into a new game in a new area with a new character. Imagine the anger that I and many others felt when this happened. That's exactly what happened with God of War Ascension.
This game had so many wonderful possibilities to be one of the greatest entries of the series after that disappointing ending in God of War 3. I could have came up with better ideas for this game that has not been done yet or could have been done to make this game 100 times better than what it was. But HOPE is for the weak and I'm tired as a gamer with all the crap that's out today. I think I will dust off my PS1 and play some of those great Jrpgs I missed playing.
Lastly for those who believe I'm overreacting about what I wrote which is the truth, there is another thing I'm pissed about with this game and I guarantee many others are as well. Its something called, "The Last of Us Demo". Another bait and switch tactic. We were told that if we preorder this game we will play the demo. But what happens we get a countdown that ends in MAY, a month before the game comes out. Who does that? Imagine the number of people who preordered this game just to play the demo and were kicked in the nuts for it. I received calls from friends asking me if my code worked, just to be pissed as they were once again. Whats the point in releasing a demo a month before the game is released like that you release it like you did god of War Ascension.
I suggest that they should let us play that demo now. I and many others preordered our copies and we deserve what we was promised.As a Hack and Slash player I found this game the most disappointing out of the entire series.
